Într-un alt pas către construirea unei infrastructuri Blockchain la scară metavers, Elrond anunță că platforma de brokeraj de date web 3.0 Itheum va debuta pe platforma sa de lansare strategică

9 martie 2022 – Dubai, Emiratele Arabe Unite

Elrond, the company developing internet-scale blockchain technology to onboard the next billion people into web 3.0 and the metaverse, has announced its strategic support for web 3.0 data brokerage platform Itheum, which will debut on Elrond’s strategic launch platform, the Maiar launchpad.

Itheum is on a mission to shift the fundamentals of the internet economy away from the one-sided advertising model, where user data is freely gathered and used by tech platforms, toward a collaborative model where the incentives for data producers and consumers are fully aligned.

Mark Paul, CEO of Itheum, said,

“Some of the brightest minds of our generation and insane amounts of resources are increasingly focused on finding new ways to harvest data from users and selling it further for ads. If we empower users and businesses to own their data and derive value from it, the internet can progress to a new level of usefulness and trust. A solid foundation for the next territory for human evolution - the metaverse.”

By leveraging Elrond Network’s scalable blockchain technology, Itheum will create the premise for everyone everywhere to manage their personal data as assets. Taking things a step further, Itheum is also deriving NFT technology to create NFMe IDs, ‘soulbound’ data avatars for the metaverse.

Beniamin Mincu, CEO of Elrond Network, said,

“The elements are in place for building a compelling environment where adventure, exploration and curiosity are elevated to unprecedented levels of immersiveness and unique relevance. Data will be the building blocks of the metaverse, and Itheum is creating the premise for everyone everywhere to share in the significant upside potential of this untapped new economy.”

NFMe ID technology will enable users to add a metadata layer to their regular avatar and have more rich and customized experiences while converting their data into a naturally recurring income stream for the new metaverse economy.

Această tehnologie va fi un stimulent puternic pentru adoptarea de către utilizatorii finali, creând în același timp premisele pentru ca consumatorii de date să achiziționeze active de date mai valoroase și mai precise la prețuri competitive.

Platforma Itheum este pregătită pentru întreprindere și este deja lansată de un număr de clienți pentru asistența medicală, ospitalitatea, forța de muncă și alte verticale de afaceri care recunosc activele de date ca următoarea frontieră pentru o creștere semnificativă.

Itheum is incubated by Morningstar Ventures in the strategic Elrond Dubai incubator and will debut in the Elrond ecosystem on the Maiar launchpad in late March or early April.

Despre Elrond

Elrond is a new blockchain architecture, designed from scratch to bring a 1,000-fold cumulative improvement in throughput and execution speed. To achieve this, Elrond introduces two key innovations - a novel adaptive state sharding mechanism and a secure proof-of-stake (PoS) algorithm, enabling linear scalability with a fast, efficient and secure consensus mechanism.

Thus, Elrond can process upwards of 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), with five-second latency and negligible cost, attempting to become the backbone of a permissionless, borderless, globally accessible internet economy.

Despre Itheum

Itheum is the world’s first decentralized multi-chain data brokerage platform that is powered by the Elrond blockchain. It has been in development for the last three years with a vision to unlock data silos that are created and closely guarded by web 2.0 organizations.

Itheum’s team recognizes that data is a highly tradable asset, with immense worth for its controllers, and hence they aim to empower users by helping them own and trade their data in the web 3.0 and metaverse era.
